Forget Eagle, try DipTrace if you want to do a little circuit tinkering.  I started with Eagle, but creating parts was a giant PITA.  As long as the parts were in the Eagle library, it wasn't bad to use, but Heaven help you if you needed to create a new part with a new footprint!

There's a bit more than meets the eye to doing a board like the lighting boards for these locomotives, having all the stuff fit properly in the shell takes a bit of mechanical engineering.  All the lighting has to line up with the matching holes & bezels in the shell.  That step only happens after you get the electrical design completed.
